Subsequent Posting of Actual Data 

Use

Generally, actual data is transferred to Profit Center Accounting automatically online when the original posting is made. However, so that you can activate Profit Center Accounting at any time, it is also possible to post data manually from any data source

Features

In Customizing for Profit Center Accounting, you can find programs for posting data from the following applications subsequently to profit centers.

·         Financial Accounting/Asset Accounting

You post primary costs (such as primary postings for labor costs, external activities and so on), by selecting the data directly from Financial Accounting. You can also transfer documents from Asset Accounting, such as data from the sale of assets, using this program.

·         Sales and Distribution

You can post data from billing documents to Profit Center Accounting.

·         Materials Management

You can select all the documents for goods movements (consumption, stock transfers, inward goods movements for delivery note, goods receipt for purchase order, and so on) directly from Materials Management.

·         Controlling

This function lets you select any secondary allocations between CO objects.

You can post this data en bloc periodically, or you can select specific data by entering the document numbers and activities.

If you transfer the data by period, the system only selects secondary allocations. You need to post all the primary postings from the original sources (Financial Accounting or Materials Management).

You can post this data en bloc periodically, or you can select specific data by entering the document numbers and activities.

You should only use the subsequent posting programs to transfer legacy data, and not for realtime data transfer.
